And so is Iran. Why? You got me. Early Davos impressions. Will need to process, consolidate into an article.
- There’s kind of a distributed consciousness at play here. Almost nobody I talked to knows what the AI stuff is about, in concrete details. They just have vibes. And yet they dropped almost all of the infamous climate justice and most of the DEI sloganeering for AI.
- In my research, when there’s a shift going on and nobody can name it, it usually means an underlying second order crisis … not as simplistic as “we want to control you all with AI”
- Everything is a vibe. They vibe off each other in feel-good slogans. I don’t know if this is the normal, or if this is a “transition” year because they don’t know what to do with AI… earthshaking concrete changes have come from WEF before, like the very real ESG metrics that Schwab put out.
- The shift could also be due to the new leadership
- This is a rich person’s paradise and we were the poorest there. It costs $25,000 a night to stay in Davos. @LarryTaunton taught me tricks to avoid that.
- If advertisements are anything to go by, the “Big Four” accounting companies are the most powerful companies on Earth, period. (Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG)
- There’s a strange sense of desperation at losing the narrative here. Onward and upward, airforce

By all accounts, Trump is seriously weighing the options. Nioh Berg and others on the ground say yes. I'm skeptical of any involvement in the affairs of other nations, we should not be the world's policeman. But the theocracy in Iran is so vile, so evil, that if we can get rid of it, it would be worth the cost. From the Starlink messages I have gotten, the people inside Iran have reached a point of acceptance.
Meaning, they know what the stakes are, and they have lost their fear of death. This will not simply die down like the regime expects. There's no going back anymore.
Iranians also fight with a level of expectation that outside help will arrive, and they understand the need to keep up the pressure no matter how impossible the odds. But the longer this takes, the bloodier it gets. If no intervention happens, or if the intervention is too weak, a regime inflicted bloodbath will follow.
If Donald J Trump wants to be a President of Peace, aiding in decapitating this rotten barbarian dictatorship fast will prevent far more bloodshed than having unarmed Iranians fight their way out of a slaughterhouse for who knows how long.
I repeat: The bloodshed which happens by allowing Khamenei to limp on will FAR outweigh the alternative.
This is the time. No more negotiating. No more deals. No more talks. No more Araghchi and Witkoff meetings.
The time is now. Onward and upward, airforce

Hint: It sure wasn't Venezuela oil. New Russian weapons? Iranian nuclear materials?
No one is saying what they found. Maybe that's a good thing.
